I am Grand Sachem Chief Moigu Standing Bear, Aquai,(Greetings) to all who visit this site and peace be with you. I hope the Great Spirit, MUNDU, as we call him in Mohegan has guided you here to learn and understand about some of the ways of our people. I am the Sachem of my people as was my father before me and a direct descendant of the great Grand Sachem Uncas. Our Tribe is Mohegan which means people of the Wolf or Wolf people. I live in the City of Kings located on the Yantic River where there are two waterfalls and a place called Uncas Leap where the Great Uncas jumped across the revine, a feat to this day that has not been repeated and I might add that if anyone dared to try they would surely fall to their death on the jagged rocks far below that sacred place. My father Grand Sachem Chief Rolling Cloud AKA John E. Hamilton was the leader of the Mohegan-Pequot people from 1933-1988. He was also a Native American Rights Activist and founded the National American Indian Defense Association in 1939 and was also land claims representative for many Tribes across the Nations. He was a Great Man and I am Honored to be his son. My father's vision was to see all the Tribes come together and stand strong in unity, unfortunately he was only able to see this on a small scale in his lifetime, but this is also my vision and the the vision of many other Native American people across the nations. If you wish to learn more about the Confederation of Tribes and feel the time has come for the Tribes to recognize each other's inherent sovereign rights as Independent Nations, rights that every Native American Indian is born with and cannot be given by the U.S. government because these rights pre-exist colonial contact and if you feel in your heart that the only people who can recognize Native American Indians are the Native American Indians then contact one of the following addresses instead of leaving it up to the BIA (Bureau of Indian Affairs) who by the way misplaced 2.5 Billion Dollars of our money! There is too long a trail of broken treaties and empty promises by the U.S. government and the time has come to take back our culture and traditions in honor of our ancestors and our children. Take the U.S. Government's hand out of our pockets and Uncle Sam's foot off our throats. Stand with us in unity. The Genocide of our people has never stopped. They're just better at hiding it now! for more info. contact the Confederation of the Mohegan-Pequot American Indian Nation and Affiliated Tribes at this page's e-mail address or call 1-860-886-9338 Fax 1-860-886-1432 or mail National American Indian Defense Association, 232 Yantic St.Norwich CT.06360 May the Great Spirit Guide you on your path Grand Sachem Chief Moigu Standing Bear

Great Site. I'm trying to compile info right now on tribal sovereignty with regard to Maine Indians (Penobscot and Passamaquoddy). Problem is - how does a Tribe exercise sovereignty when the State has been suppressing it for so many years? The Maine Indian Land Claims Settlement probably seemed like a good idea at the time, but the consequences have been devastating, in terms of sovereignty.
